Theft at St Mary’s Churchyard

Theft at St Mary’s Churchyard

On Tuesday 30 October I took my two young children to lay some flowers on my recently deceased mother's grave.

After locking the car we walked solemnly in the stunning autumn sunshine towards her burial site. The calm tranquillity was shattered however, when, no more than 30 seconds after leaving the car, a red transit van arrived, occupant jumped out, smashed the window and stole my handbag and some recently bought clothes leaving me shaken and my children in tears.

I realise I was very careless in leaving my possessions on show but as her resting place was close to the car (within view) and we were gone for a such a short time I thought it would be safe.

Please be warned that however beautiful your surroundings, there may be people lurking whose consciences allow them to prey on those in mourning.

My faith in humanity was somewhat restored when on Wednesday morning I had a call from a dog walker who had found my purse in a hedge in Nash Lee Lane. No cash obviously but all my cards and my drivers licence were intact .
